Ancestral Wealth Inheritance System

"Mr. President, this is still not enough," Fang Jueyu said, putting away the stack of share transfer agreements. The combined company shares amounted to just 3.1 trillion US dollars, not even a tenth of the rent.

Kazama Suke was nearly in tears. They had almost sold everything they had. Initially, they thought that by handing over the shares to Fang Jueyu, they could at least keep the company's decision-making power in the hands of the country, losing only the annual dividends.

But unexpectedly, most of those shares were originally Fang Jueyu's. Now, those companies from the East Kokugaku have completely been branded by Huaxia; they have indeed paid a heavy price.

"Hmm... let me think," Fang Jueyu pondered. "Even though these companies are mine, they are established in the East Kokugaku, so they should be taxed annually, right? How about we waive those taxes?"

"Oh no!" Fang Jueyu slapped his forehead. "The land is mine, why would I pay taxes? Sigh, I've been trying my best to help you figure out how to pay off the debt, but it's just not possible."

"Are you a damn dog?" Kazama Suke had cursed Fang Jueyu thousands of times in his heart. Fang Jueyu's behavior was provoking enough to make one want to slap him, but Kazama was too afraid to do so, considering three superpower users had already died.

The key issue was, they didn't know where Ryukawa Sukio had gone during this time. Since the day they had a meal together, Kazama Suke hadn't been able to reach Ryukawa Sukio; otherwise, they might have a chance to eliminate Fang Jueyu through Ryukawa.

Suddenly, Kazama Suke's assistant leaned over and whispered something in his ear. Despite the hushed tone, Fang Jueyu's ears caught every word.

Ryukawa Sukio had asked Kazama Suke's assistant to convey a message: delay Fang Jueyu a bit longer, as he was currently involved in something very important. If necessary, he could give Fang Jueyu anything he wanted, even the meteorite, and once he returned, he would regain all the losses.

"Important business?" Fang Jueyu was truly puzzled. What could be so important that Ryukawa Sukio didn't want the meteorite anymore? And what made him so confident that he could reclaim everything from Fang Jueyu?

"Host, there's nothing strange about it. No matter what, he won't be able to open the meteorite. The reason he preserved it like this was simply to buy time. It seems the time is almost sufficient now," Xiao Yi explained.

"What exactly is he doing?" Fang Jueyu asked.

"I don't know either. Very few people might know about it, and there's no information being transmitted via the internet or radio, so I can't detect anything," Xiao Yi said.

"Really keeping things mysterious," Fang Jueyu suddenly felt a bit of concern. Could there really be something that posed a sufficient threat to him?

"Host, if you're worried, you can have Gu Yi protect you. After all, he has spent over half a year practicing at the Super God Academy, and even if he hasn't become a Divine Ability User, he probably has reached the peak of a Source Energy User. With him around, there's really nothing to fear."

"Makes sense. Gu Yi should still be at the academy. Xiao Yi, help me notify Xinyu and have her go to Super God Academy to bring Gu Yi over."

"Got it!"

With Gu Yi by his side, Fang Jueyu's confidence grew significantly, and even the biggest problem seemed solvable.

"Mr. Fang, don't worry, we have some things here that can offset part of the debt," Kazama Suke, bolstered by Ryukawa Sukio's promise, had a renewed spirit. Until now, Ryukawa Sukio had never disappointed him, nor broken a promise.

"Let me see," Fang Jueyu took a tablet. It was a list of the most important treasures in the country, nearly all national treasures, each a rare gem and extremely valuable.

"Mr. Fang, each item has corresponding information and price. You can choose freely." After all, they could be retrieved later, so Kazama Suke felt no heartache at all.

"Ten Thousand Fist Sword, looks pretty sharp, I'll let my family's chef use it to cut vegetables and meat, 5 billion dollars, not too expensive."

"Thousand-foot Mirror, Xinyu happens to need a nice mirror. With this trip to the East Kokugaku, it can be a gift to her, just a few billion dollars."

"Eight Gate Buddha Figure, can take it back for home protection."

"'Wind God and Thunder God Painting?' I'll hang it in the bathroom; maybe it'll help aid digestion!"

…

Anything with a bit of value, Fang Jueyu selected without exception, and the top-level national treasures were all gone instantly. As for the ordinary national treasures, Fang Jueyu selected them all without even looking.

Listening to Fang Jueyu muttering to himself, Kazama Suke secretly clenched his fist.

You can take the items, but please respect our national treasures, could you not? Using them for kitchen tasks and grooming, isn't that an utter waste? A multi-billion-dollar national treasure painting, and you hang it in the bathroom? What kind of squandering is this?

"Alright, that's it," Fang Jueyu handed the tablet back.

"Cough, cough, cough," the finance minister nearly fainted upon seeing the numbers. What did he mean by just these? He had chosen everything available, hadn't he?

But there was no other option because their national treasures totaled just that amount, simply because the base amount of the debt they owed was too large.

"Mr. Yuan Huiguo, help me calculate how much these can offset."

"Mr. Fang, please wait a moment!" They had no heart to continue eating, and called a group of staff to promptly count the price of these national treasures.

A total of 1,892 items amounted to over 2 trillion, and combined with those company stocks, it barely covered the principal and interest on the national debt, leaving a funding gap of 40 trillion.

Their country had almost been completely depleted!

"These pieces of junk are worth so much?" Fang Jueyu appeared truly surprised. "Never mind, I also have nowhere to store so many items. Later, I'll hold an auction to sell them; maybe I could double the amount!"

Mizuhara Rimi had initially hated Kazama Suke; for the sake of the country, he had threatened her to spend a night with a stranger. But now, she felt some pity for him, wasn't he too pitiful?

"Mr. President, do you have anything else of value?"

"Nothing, nothing at all!" Kazama Suke was almost in tears; he really had nothing left to offer.

"How about this, I am quite passionate about research. I heard you recently acquired a very special meteorite? Why not give me that meteorite, as it could offset a few billion?" Since Ryukawa Sukio had already spoken with Kazama Suke earlier, Fang Jueyu didn't need to beat around the bush. He had been after the meteorite from the start; he just needed a valid reason.

"Meteorite?" Kazama Suke's eyes lit up instantly. He understood, he understood everything!

What real estate, national debt, rent, interest, Fang Jueyu had no interest in those things. His target was solely the meteorite! Everything else was just a means to force him into compliance.

But Kazama Suke still didn't understand what kind of magic this meteorite had that made Fang Jueyu go to such lengths to obtain it, and Ryukawa Sukio also seemed to value this meteorite.

"Of course, of course," Kazama Suke tried his best to hide his emotions. This was Ryukawa Sukio's instruction, so he handed over the meteorite to Fang Jueyu without hesitation.

He wanted to see what story would unfold between Ryukawa Sukio and Fang Jueyu because of this meteorite!
